- Femmes & Themmes
- Get ready to get intimate with Halifax's hottest femmes, thems, theys, and female & enby gays. Night Spa is wrapping up the 2024 Halifax Pride Festival with a special night for the ladies (we use that term so loosely). Our female/female-presenting members (and all types in between). Night Spa is Halifax's only clothing optional, private members bathhouse. With new ownership, management and a complete over hall of the rules and policies this is a queer bathhouse for the next generation. Safe, fun, sexy, social, cleanliness and community are some keywords you will hear about the new space. We were voted 'Best Spa in Halifax' 2023 receiving Gold and have the glass trophy which we are both very proud of and find hilarious. Our venue is clothing optional although most will wear a robe, towel, underwear or a bathing suit. You'd be fine in your street clothes if that's how you're most comfortable but you would look a little out of place and your clothes would get ruined in our sauna and soaked in the hot tub!
- Apply to become a member early if you're not one already. We do not do same day applications and can not let anyone in who is not a member or the guest of a member. All first time members are given a tour when they first arrive that not only covers where things are and how the venue's equipment works but also covers rules and etiquette. Staff members and volunteers are always nearby as well, in case you have any questions throughout the night. More details are provided in your membership acceptance letter.
